The Potential of Herbal Management in Gallstone (Pittashmari) – A Case Study
In India, cholelithiasis (gallstones) is now the leading problem. Some patients have a single gallstone, while others develop multiple gallstones at the same time. It could be as big as a golf ball or as small as a grain of sand. The risk factors for gallstones include middle age, inconsistent eating patterns, extended fasting, and metabolic syndrome. Surgical treatment is usually required, such as the removal of the entire gall bladder (cholecystectomy). In Ayurveda, it is not texted directly. There is a description of ashmari (urinary calculi), so by considering the symptoms and pathology of cholelithiasis, it can be correlated with pittashmari, as that site was given for Accha pitta according to the Ayurvedic classics. Pittashamri pathophysiology includes kapha-pitta vitiation and an obstructed Vayu marga (path). A 40-year-old male patient complained of pain in the upper abdomen along with bloating, chest discomfort, and constipation for the past 6 months. The patient had been taking modern medications. But patient experienced only temporary relief of symptoms. So, the patient came to the OPD for Ayurvedic treatment. Investigating with ultrasound, the patient was diagnosed with cholelithiasis and treated purely with herbal drugs as the patient was unaffordable. Pittarechaka (cholagogue), yakruta-pleehaghna, ashmarighna, and drugs with choleretic properties, such as kokilaksha, haritaki, bhumyamalaki, and rohitakarishta, were chosen. Within 15 days, the patient’s symptoms had significantly improved. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to assess abdominal pain. A reduction in the size of the gallstone was seen within three months, and a completely normal ultrasound after one year, as discussed here.
